A The noise produced by busy roads is a growingproblem. While vehicle designers have workedhard to quieten engines, they have been lesssuccessful elsewhere. The sound created by thetyres on the surface of the road now accountsfor more than half the noise that vehicles create,and as road building and car sales continue toboom-particularly in Asia and the US-this is turning into a global issue.
B According to the World Health Organization,exposure to noise from road traffic overlong periods can lead to stress-related healthproblems. And where traffic noise exceeds acertain threshold, road builders have to spendmoney erecting sound barriers and installingdouble glazing in blighted homes. Housesbecome harder to sell where environmentalnoise is high, and people are not as efficient orproductive at work.
C Already, researchers in the Netherlands-oneof the most densely populated countries in theworld-- are working to develop techniques forsilencing the roads. In the next five years theDutch government aims to have reduced noiselevels from the country's road surfaces by sixdecibels overall. Dutch mechanical engineerArd Kuijpers has come up with one of the mostpromising, and radical, ideas. He set out totackle the three most important factors: surfacetexture, hardness and ability to absorb sound.
D The rougher the surface, the more likely it isthat a tyre will vibrate and create noise. Roadbuilders usually eliminate bumps on freshlylaid asphalt with heavy rollers, but Kuijpershas developed a method of road building thathe thinks can create the ultimate quiet road.His secret is a special mould 3 metres wideand 50 metres long. Hot asphalt, mixed withsmall stones, is spread into the mould by a rail-mounted machine which flattens the asphalt mixwith a roller. When it sets, the 10-millimetre-thick sheet has a surface smoother than anythingthat can be achieved by conventional methods.
